This challenge is combined with Scrapping the music #47 - Stay Beautiful. That is to scrap a layout honoring someone beautiful by inspiration from the lyrics to Stay Beautiful by Taylor Swift. The title "Does he know?" is taken from the lyrics and it represents the unsecurity a mother sometimes may feel regarding if her son does know how much she loves him. The photo is of the first real kiss he gave me. He must have been less then six months old when that picture was taken. The thought bubble says "I'm taking pictures in my mind, So I can save them for a rainy day". This is a constant reminder for me to save pictures of things we do and say and hopefully they will help to console and comfort when things get tough at the same time as I will have funny stories to tell...

The journaling is the chorus which go

You're beautifulEvery little piece love, don't you knowYou're really gonna be someone, ask anyoneWhen you find everything you looked forI hope your life leads you back to my doorOh but if it don't, stay beautiful

A mothers door is always open regardless of what happens. But... does he know? That's something you never can take for granted. And... it doesn't matter how much you wish him to know...

Are you ready for some...

About me, myself and I

She is known to be living more than out in the middle of nowhere together with her rockin' {killer} clown. maxell sometimes feels the physical presence of her so-called pic. When maxell steals the time, she is creative on several levels where some include a lot of paper work. And hell yes, maxell only let punk and rock get into her ears. ;)
